Wanaka police yesterday named the 38-year-old man who died in
a skydiving accident in Wanaka on Thursday.
Antonino Arillotta was a contractor working for Sky Dive Lake
Wanaka Ltd, which operates from the Wanaka Airport, opposite
the Have a Shot golf driving range where Mr Arillotta died on
hitting the ground.
Company directors Jools and Dave Hall declined to discuss the
accident while investigations into the cause were continuing.
However, Mrs Hall said Mr Arillotta was known as "Nino" and
all his friends in New Zealand were fellow skydivers.
"We're all still quite gutted, to be honest."
Civil Aviation Authority corporate communications manager
Mike Richards said yesterday Skydive Lake Wanaka had
voluntarily suspended its operations.
"This is not required by the CAA. However, it is a respectful
action and also allows staff and locals time to come to terms
with what has happened."
He described Skydive Lake Wanaka as a "very professional
company" certificated by the CAA under the new Part 115
Adventure Aviation Rule. The rule was introduced last
November to strengthen safeguards governing adventure
Mr Richards said Thursday's accident was the first adventure
aviation fatality in New Zealand since the new rule came into
At least two CAA safety investigators would spend two days in
Wanaka conducting interviews, and liaising with police and
local authorities.
"The investigators will then bring all gear associated with
the accident back to Wellington for detailed examination and
testing," Mr Richards said.
"This will include all parachute gear and related equipment
and the camera used by Mr Arillotta."
Wanaka Senior Constable Bruce McLean said Mr Arillotta had
been working in Wanaka for the last two months and had been
in the country for a short time before that.
The Otago Daily Times understands Mr Arillotta was
from Reggio Calabria, a city at the southern tip of Italy.
His body has been taken to Dunedin for a postmortem.
Police have said Mr Arillotta was filming other tandem
skydivers about 4pm on Thursday when he appeared to have
difficulties with his main and reserve parachutes.
Mr Arillotta's main chute was found some distance away and a
witness told the ODT Mr Arillotta's reserve parachute had
been deployed but was trailing behind him and did not break
his fall.
Police said the incident was witnessed by several people who
were offered support and counselling.
Parachuting accidents
• October 2011: A 34-year-old man sustained spinal injuries
when his parachute collapsed in a paragliding incident near
Whakamaru, 40km northwest of Taupo.
• June 2010: Gary Cullen (51), of Ruakaka in Northland, was
killed in Norway when a rogue gust of wind caught his
inflated parachute during a "ground launching" and he was
dragged down a hill.
• October 2008: Jo Snodin (27) an experienced skydiving
videographer, failed to slow down her parachute as she came
in to land at Mercer Airport, near Auckland. She sustained
moderate injuries to her leg and pelvis as she hit the
• February 2008: Simon Hepple (32) died after he lost air in
his parachute during a landing at Mercer Airport.
• December 2001: A 46-year-old skydiver died after crashing
while completing a manoeuvre close to landing at an airfield
near Hastings.

Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
of 1960
The experts who met at Geneva in 1945 considered that, from the medical point of view, it was fully as desirable to have a surgeon as a general practitioner on each Commission (1). It was also recommended that military medical officers should be elected in preference to civilian practitioners, but no provision to that effect was included in the present Regulations.
It is desirable, on the other hand, in order to facilitate the appointment of Commissions, that the health services of neutral countries should draw up in advance, or upon the outbreak of a conflict, a list of qualified doctors prepared to serve on Mixed Medical Commissions. These lists would be kept available to the International Committee of the Red Cross and to Protecting Powers.

Butt implant surgery, like breast implant surgery, places artificial implants either under or on top of the muscle to enhance the size and shape of the butt. This is in contrast to a Brazilian butt lift, which uses a person's own fat (liposuctioned from other areas of the body) to naturally augment the butt. LEARN MORE ›

Norovirus In The News | Facility Executive - Creating Intelligent Buildings
Facility managers and their staff play an important role in mitigating the impact of this illness. According to the CDC, norovirus is most prevalent November through April.
Norovirus In The News
Norovirus illnesses are in the news again, and facility managers and their staff play an important role in mitigating the impact on their occupants. According to the CDC, you can get norovirus illness at any time during the year, but it is most common in the winter. Norovirus illness is not related to the flu (influenza), which is a respiratory illness caused by influenza virus.
The Florida Department of Health in Marion County determined yesterday that norovirus is the cause of an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness last week at East Marion Elementary School in Silver Springs, FL. Nearly 300 students were out sick last week, and the school is still dealing with the issue.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, officials have closed an elementary school today because of a norovirus outbreak. More than 40% of the students at Eagleswood Elementary School were out sick Thursday. The school is closed so cleaning crews can disinfect the building.
A norovirus outbreak onboard the Celebrity Summit cruise ship out of Bayonne, NJ sickened more than 300 passengers and crew members recently, according to the CDC. The ship had embarked on a two week Canadian and New England trip on September 21 and returned to Bayonne on October 5. According to Celebrity Cruise Lines, 307 of 2,112 passengers reported feeling ill during the voyage, with the predominant symptoms being vomiting and diarrhea. They say 14 of the 952 crew members also reported feeling sick.
Norovirus is most often contracted when a person: eats food or drinks liquids contaminated with norovirus; touches surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus and then puts their fingers in their mouth; or has contact with someone who is infected with norovirus (for example, caring for or sharing food or eating utensils with someone with the illness).
Norovirus can spread quickly in closed places like daycare centers, nursing homes, schools, and cruise ships. In the U.S., most norovirus outbreaks happen from November to April.
Hand washing is cited as one of the most effective ways to prevent the transmission of norovirus, according to CDC and other resources. As a facility manager, you can encourage and remind occupants to wash their hands frequently. If your population is such that you can't control the frequency and level of hand washing, that's where cleaning practices come in. Facilities staff should routinely clean and disinfect high touch surfaces and equipment with an EPA-approved product with a label claim for norovirus.
Have you dealt with a norovirus occurrence in your facilities? Or, what practices do you have in place to try to prevent an outbreak?

Braised Lamb Ragu With Penne
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
If you love lamb, then try this dish, it is a fantastic dinner to serve to guests, or of coarse family, as it is so easy to make! I promise you will get rave reviews on this dish! This dish has lots of sauce, when I made it I simmered the sauce separately in a small saucepan for about 25 minutes to reduce slightly after the complete dish was cooked, but that is only optional, also if you have any leftover sauce, you can freeze it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb penne pasta (can use more less, as desired)
- 1⁄3 cup oil (or more or less as needed)
- 6 -8 lamb shanks
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 1⁄2 lbs small button mushrooms (can use more or less)
- 1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (or to taste, can use about 3-4 tablespoons fresh chopped basil)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or to taste)
- crushed red pepper flakes
- 1⁄2 cup dry white wine
- 3 1⁄4 cups beef broth
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or to taste)
- 1 1⁄2 cups crushed tomato puree
- salt and pepper
- grated parmesan cheese
- Set oven to 325 degrees.
- Cook the penne in boiling water until JUST firm-tender, drain and transfer to a bowl (do not rinse with water) toss with 2-3 tablespoons oil and set aside, this can be done before, during or after you cook the lamb shanks).
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over high heat.
- Rub oil lightly on the lamb shanks and then season them with salt and pepper.
- Add to the pot and brown evenly on all sides (this should take about 10-12 minutes).
- Transfer the lamb to a platter.
- Add in chopped onions, garlic, mushrooms, basil, rosemary and crushed red pepper flakes; saute until the veggies are tender (about 7-9 minutes).
- Return the lamb to the pot.
- Add in wine and bring to a boil; simmer for about 6-8 minutes.
- Add in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and crushed tomatoes and return to a simmer.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the pot and transfer to the oven.
- Cook for about 1-1/2 hours, or until meat is desired tenderness.
- At this point you can remove the meat from the bones and return the meat to the sauce, or just serve the bone with the meat on them with the sauce.
- Serve the sauce over cooked pasta, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Delicious!

This recipe is a winner! Delicious flavour. Have made it many times, and always with the same consistent result. I have used lamb shanks & lamb shoulder, but cook it in the oven for about 3 hours if I have time. The longer the better! Great topped with torn pieces of buffalo mozzarella for an extra gourmet touch.
Made for my 3 chefs June 2012. This was an absolute pleasure to make. We had to use veal shanks as lamb was a little pricey. I didn't have a dutch oven and found that cooking in a tagine on the stove top works extremely well (stainless steel base! - medium heat to brown the meat then low heat for nearly two hours).
I served this with Baked Italian Potatoes and some gremolata and this all went together amazingly, my housemates went back for 3rds and there was still lots left over.
Thank you so much for sharing, this was a real pleasure.

Public Services & Communities
We enable people to take an active role in solving the problems in their own communities, driving innovation and changing the way that public services are designed, delivered and managed.
The RSA has, over its 260 year history, focused on a wide range of issues. Our current focus is on the following key themes:
We enable people to take an active role in solving the problems in their own communities, driving innovation and changing the way that public services are designed, delivered and managed.
We seek to close the creativity gap, working with learners, educators and leaders to develop new approaches that enable everyone, regardless of background, to generate original, valuable ideas and make them happen.
We bring together businesses, makers and entrepreneurs to understand and promote entrepreneurship, sustainable and innovative manufacturing and to create the next generation of socially responsible designers and enterprises.
The power to create is the ability to turn your ideas and aspirations into reality.
The rapid pace of change in society, politics and technology means that many more people around the world now have the desire, the tools and the resources to turn their ideas and aspirations into reality.
Our aim is to ensure that this creative power can be exercised by everyone, not just the few. Through our Fellowship, research, practical innovation and campaigning, we are working to release the creativity of as many people as possible, in order to address the many challenges that we currently face - from low educational attainment, to social isolation, unemployment, and climate change.
Our Power to Create approach determines the projects we take on, shapes their design and drives us to look for innovative solutions that will be sustainable in the long term.
We believe that the innovation that flows from this approach can establish a 21st enlightenment, ensuring that ever more creative people are equipped for the creative times we live in.
We seek out enlightened thinking and put it to work in practical ways
We nurture and engage a network of Fellows, employees and partners that is proactive, intellectually curious, entrepreneurial and diverse
The breadth of our interests, networks and methods give access to a wide spectrum of skills including horizon scanning, generating debate, primary and secondary research, civic engagement, practical innovation and enterprise development
The global reach of the RSA, our independence and our broad and multidisciplinary networks means we can identify emerging new challenges and spot and curate powerful new ideas
Our mission is not merely to commentate or to recommend to others but to develop and wherever possible rigorously test practical, scalable, solutions.
Through its unique networks the RSA seeks to make its ideas and innovations available as inspiration, opportunity, and resource to all.
Our ability to fulfil our purpose is dependent on how we work and the culture we create
We value the quality and rigour of ideas, not where they come from or allegiance to any ideology. We take imaginative new approaches to solving problems and believe in the power of design and creativity to effect change
We try things out and are prepared to fail in the pursuit of what works, learning from everything that we do. We make intelligent use of our resources by building on what works already, trusting people - especially our employees and Fellows - and treating them as assets.
All our work is aligned with our social purpose, and we do not take on work that conflicts with our mission or values. We aspire to global excellence in all our work and make products and services we want to use and promote ourselves
We value other people's work and wisdom, treat them with respect and do not attack or steal the work of others. We judge ourselves by the contribution we make to society not by the benefits we gain as an organisation

Carey Watermark Investors Acquires Dual-Branded Hotel for $81.5M

DENVER—Lodging REIT Carey Watermark Investors Inc., has acquired a 302-room, dual-brand select-service hotel, located here in the city's central business district for approximately $85 million.
The dual-branded Hampton Inn & Suites and Homewood Suites hotel opened in 2013 following the adaptive reuse of a 1960s-era office building.
CWI's investment includes the $81.5-million purchase price as well as acquisition-related costs and planned capital expenditures. The acquisition was financed with $53 million of debt.
In 2013, average hotel RevPAR in the greater Denver area increased by 8.6%, with occupancy and ADR increasing by 5.7% and 2.7%, respectively, according to CWI. Strengthening market fundamentals combined with Denver's status as a destination for corporate, group and leisure visitors have positioned the Denver hotel market well for 2014, according to the REIT.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

The use of lockout techniques is required in most facilities, including power distribution facilities, but is often established in many different ways. Often times flags, tags, the instructions of a system operator, or other means are utilized in power distribution facilities to approximate the same level of safety is afforded by use of actual physical locks. Extensive training is required to maintain the integrity of these alternate systems, but the chance of error is greater than in the systems where locks are used. Use of personal locks also squarely places the responsibility of achieving the electrically safe condition of the equipment upon the worker or employee. The tool discussed in this article, called a placard, has been used in some industrial facilities to enhance the federal requirements of a lockout energy control program. This tool has been applied to power distribution equipment. This article discusses the development and implementation of placards along with the advantages and difficulties encountered during the process

Indiana shot the ball so well in the first half Monday night against Howard, it seemed as if everything the Hoosiers threw up was going to go in. The No. 17 Hoosiers (11-0) made nine 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes of their 107-50 win, capped by Jordan Hulls' fourth of the half with 49 seconds left. The fact that Hulls connected on a three was not a surprise. The way in which he did it, however, was certainly unorthodox. With the shot clock running down, Hulls dribbled hard to his left. When he was unable to get past his defender, the right-handed junior shot and made a left-handed 3-pointer while still on the move. Will Sheehey called it "the best 3-pointer I've ever seen." "That's pretty impressive," said Indiana coach Tom Crean. "His teammates and the coaches see him do that a lot, especially when he comes out and warms up or when he's just shooting after practice or before practice. But he's very gifted with both hands. I don't think he would have taken it that way if he didn't

Think about it! AAPL will be at $320 or even $300 and at $320 you lose 20%. Profits reversed first time in 10 years, analysts estimates and long term growth all slashed dramatically this week. AAPL has no new inventions, we will see the watch and TV soon and those will probably not even sell. They need things like teh ipod, ipad, iphone and these items are not like those and thats why profits are reversing. Get ready for some big losses in stock price.

JJ to the rescue! Little girl's dog is allowed into the operating room DURING surgery to alert doctors of life-threatening allergic reaction
- Kaelyn Krawczyk, aged seven, has a rare illness called mastocytosis which causes dangerous allergy-like symptoms to occur without warning
- Her pet terrier, JJ, is trained to detect oncoming attacks
- On Wednesday during surgery, the dog got up and turned circles as anesthetic was administered - a minor alert - and then sat back down
- The dog did not wear a special outfit for the occasion but was bathed the night before
A North Carolina hospital took the groundbreaking decision to let a dog into the operating theater yesterday as it's seven-year-old owner underwent life-saving surgery.
First-grader Kaelyn Krawczyk has a rare illness called mastocytosis which causes dangerous allergy-like symptoms - such as hives, swelling, nausea and shortness of breath - to occur without warning.
Her pet terrier, JJ, is trained to detect oncoming attacks and on Wednesday when she was operated on at the Duke University Medical Center the fluffy pooch acted as an 'additional monitor' for medics.
Scroll down for video
A girl's best friend: Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina decided to let JJ the dog into the operating theater yesterday as it's seven-year-old owner, Kaelyn Krawczyk, underwent life-saving surgery
Turning in circles indicates a mild reaction while barking shows the situation has become more urgent. Resreachers believe that medical response dogs such as JJ, can detect subtle changes in body chemistry or behavior in their owner.
Anesthetist, Dr. Brad Taicher, told the Charlotte Observer: 'It was kind of logical, actually. Knowing what JJ could do, we realized that [she] was not much different from other monitors we use.'
'It sounds silly, in this age of technology but this little dog was more sensitive than all the machines'
While JJ couldn't be allowed into a
sterile operating room, she could go into a less strict procedure zone.
She was given a thorough bath on Tuesday evening in preparation for her
hospital visit.
The purpose of Wednesday's 45-minute-long operation was to look for a cause of Kaelyn's recurring kidney infections, which, if left untreated, could prove fatal.
Early Wednesday, JJ followed the youngster into the surgery and sat on the floor next to her bed.
Rare condition: The first-grader has an illness called mastocytosis which causes dangerous allergy-like symptoms - such as hives, swelling, nausea and shortness of breath - to occur without warning
Trusty friend: Her pet terrier, JJ, is trained to detect oncoming attacks and on Wednesday when she was operated on at the Duke University Medical Center the fluffy pooch acted as an 'additional monitor' for medics
Dr Taicher says anesthesia can, in rare
cases, cause an allergic reaction in patients, so he watched for any
signs from JJ as the sedative was administered to Kaelyn.
Though the monitors showed no change in her vital signs, JJ got up and turned circles as her body felt the effects of the drug - a minor alert - and then sat back down.
Dr. Sherry
Ross, who performed Kaelyn's surgery said the injection of a 'test dye'
during the procedure could have also triggered a reaction. But, again,
no problems occurred.
The only other instance JJ stirred was as Kaelyn was brought out of sedation, and she turned a couple of circles again.
'Knowing what JJ the dog could do, we realized that she was not much different from other monitors we use'
'It was just as we expected,' Dt Taicher said. 'If we had had a script, she followed it to a tee.'
Although service dogs are used in many medical instances, including detecting blood-sugar fluctuations in diabetics and seizures in people with epilepsy, Dr Taicher said he was impressed with JJ's abilities.
'It sounds silly, in this age of technology, when we have millions of dollars' worth of equipment beeping around me, that we had a little dog who was more sensitive than all the machines,' he said.
Since JJ became Kaelyn's service dog 18 months ago, she has exceeded the hopes of even her trainer, Deb Cunningham at Eyes Ears Nose and Paws in Carrboro.
Ms Cunningham knew it was possible to train a dog to help when a person goes into medical distress but she wasn't sure a dog could learn to alert someone of something happening at a cellular level before the person even shows signs of a problem.
On standby: The little dog sat on the floor while her owner was operated on
Grateful: Kaelyn's mother, Michelle, says JJ makes life a lot easier
In 2012, Ms Cunningham trained JJ, a who was rescued from an animal shelter, about how to react to Kaelyn's condition.
Previously the infant from Apex, North Carolina, experienced three to four severe reactions a year but since JJ entered her life there has been only one.
That's because JJ alerts before the reaction progresses, giving Kaelyn's parents time to take action.
Her mother, Michelle, says the dog often senses a problem before Kaelyn shows any symptoms or says that she's feeling unwell.
'JJ has made it possible for us to give out daughter a more normal life'
As well as signaling that there is some wrong, JJ can also go to a cabinet at the family's home and fetch a kit containing an EpiPen in preparation.
If the Krawczyk's are away from home traveling, she knows to go to Michelle's purse and get the kit.
'JJ has made it possible for us to give [Kaelyn] a more normal life,' Michelle said. Meanwhile her daughter calls JJ 'very beautiful and smart' and at 'the top of my love list.'
Kaelyn is currently recovering from yesterday's procedure. It is very unusual to have a dog present in a hospital operation room.
Indeed, Dr. Timothy E. Smith, an associate professor of pediatric anesthesiology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina told Today.com that he had never heard of such a case.

Oh, and don't bother paying anything more than retail. That's a joke.
Anyways, to the review...
If you pay anything more than $90 for this stick, you will be severely disappointed. Not only will you be required to void the warranty on the controller to prevent the joystick from breaking -- but replacing it with a new one will bring the cost up to near 'Tournament Edition (149.99)' prices.
What you are paying for is labor and an arcade stick box -- REMEMBER THAT. Quality arcade controllers run from $100 to $200 because of the labor involved, the inner circuitry/wiring, and the cost of the parts. For $80 you are getting a stupidly good deal on a box, controller functionality, and labor. A control pad for any system will run you about $50, so you are only paying $30 for the cost of high quality wiring, additional materials (obviously, the stick is big) and additional labor. It is a fantastic deal.
Here's what you are getting pretty much for free: The joystick and buttons. The parts inside are good for anyone new, but they will not last without your help. I'm talking a month or so max without personal modifications; with the joystick itself lasting you from a day to a few weeks(they are defective, check Madcatz' official site for info. They mention a small amount only, but I can guarantee you will not be risking it with $80 worth of equipment or more). IF YOU CAN FIX IT YOURSELF, AND DON'T FEAR OPENING IT UP AND VOIDING THE WARRANTY -- THE PARTS ARE REASONABLE.Read more ›
But for the regular consumer this product... well at least mine... was a piece of crap.
-Joystick sticking to the right due to loose washer
-5 out of the 8 buttons stopped registering more than %50 of the time before my sanwa parts came in
-Screws holding the stick were stripped and the stick fell through the box the first day I recieved it.
For $80 a controller should not do that, no matter what you're buying it for. I was never rough with it or slammed the buttons. I'm a very light tapper and I'm very relaxed on the joystick. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm technically savvy when it comes to arcade sticks this would have been a nightmare purchase for me.
Edit: Raised the rating a bit due to being mod friendly.
I first became interested in switching to a stick because I wanted to start playing charge characters. This is the typical Bison/Blanka/Chun/Guile sort of character whose moves are something like charge back 2 seconds then forward + kick. First and foremost, charge motions just don't work very well on a normal controller's directional pad. Additionally, one of the easiest ways for a newbie to learn charge characters is to sit on a down-back charge quite a bit. This stick has a square gate on it, so that the motion of the stick has four corners along the boundary of the stick's action. This makes it extremely easy to charge down and back at the same time because there's a corner there to tuck into. Advanced players don't rely on the corners in the gate for inputs, because if your reflexes are amazing and precise then you get quicker motion between directional inputs by pushing the stick just far enough to trigger the input. But for a newbie, a square-gated stick is a godsend for learning to play these charge characters. For roll-motion characters like Ryu or Ken, some people may feel more comfortable using the analog stick on a regular xbox controller, or even the d-pad (if you grew up playing SF2 on the Super Nintendo, you can probably manage.Read more ›
However, those willing to go the extra mile are apt to find this stick's true potential. While doing so will void the warranty, if you open the stick up you will find that it is very customizable. For mine, I ordered all Sanwa replacement buttons and a Sanwa joystick with an octagonal restrictor plate (the square restrictor late is standard). It is a bit risky to do this kind of thing if you are not familiar with how to do it but it's also quite easy to figure out if you are patient and have a bit of technical savy.
With all the replacement parts, my stick is equal to the Tournament stick in every way accept for the empty area to store my cord. Since that's a feature I don't even use on my Tournament Stick (yes, I have both) it's a moot point.
If you are looking for a stick that will let you compete properly, this stick is a fine choice. If you are looking for a Tournament Stick and can't find one or can't afford one, the customizing options open to you on this stick are a great alternative. I can't recommend it enough!

Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
Even without injured running back Mikell Simpson, Virginia was able to scrape up more offense than the Terps and left College Park with a 20-9 win Saturday.
The difference?
Virginia was able to score touchdowns and the Terps were giving the ball away again like Halloween candy.
Maryland quarterback Chris Turner threw two interceptions, and the turnover-prone Terps hurt themselves again with four turnovers. They don't even give themselves a chance to win when they do that, and it's been their story all season.
Meanwhile, Virginia Tech is keeping things interesting for the Coastal Division, especially considering Georgia Tech is leading the Hokies 7-3 at the half right now.

ASRock P55 Deluxe Lynnfield Motherboard
There is nothing like a new CPU to bring out the creativity in motherboard manufacturers. Now that Intel's Lynnfield is out officially, we will start to see the motherboards really come out of the woodwork. Yes, it is true that most of them were already "out", but for the most part the official curtain is up and we can start to see what the big OEMs can do with the new P55 chipset and the LGA 1156 socket.
We had the fun of testing out the ASRock P55 Deluxe, this is only the 2nd board from ASRock that I have personally tested but I am finding that I like some of the thought processes behind their designs. The P55 Deluxe is a clean board that has quite a few high-end features. It even offers an optional SATA 6Gbps card (PCI-e x1).
As we have mentioned ASRock is really working to break out of their "Entry Level" shell and have had some good success recently.
Will the P55 Deluxe be a continuation of this trend? Read on to find out.
